Linklater, director of the "Love in" series, is another trivial and warm chat film. The same class of actors, 12 years of shooting time.
I saw that the boy got fat and thin in the rising coordinates, his hair was long and short, and his eyebrows appeared to resemble Ethan Hawke who played his father (I have to admire the eyes of the director who chose the cast).
And the mother became fat and thin in the old age, her hair was long and short, and she took her children away from one man and then went to another man, embarrassed and with the dignity of an independent woman, striving to study, earn a degree, and teach. , When the children grew up one after another, but at the moment when they watched the teenager go to college and leave home, his emotions broke down so much that he couldn't help himself.
Compared with the loving and even literary conversations between the children and their fathers every time, the life transition that followed by the mother lily's three emotional breakdowns is even more moving:
once was a quarrel with a young boyfriend who loves to go out to play dialectically, the children are not. Mistake is the responsibility to create a better life for them, and then she took her children back to school to study for a master's degree;
once was an overwhelming drunk husband’s domestic violence, and yelled at her daughter when she took the children to escape quickly: “Yes , I’m not a good mother, but I’ve tried my best.” The
last time I moved to a small new apartment and watched my son casually pack up for college, I suddenly lost control and cried: “Divorce, move, get a degree, I will send you to junior high school to high school to college. Then, is it my funeral? I originally thought there would be more in life..."
Yeah, after falling in love, losing love, having children, getting married, divorced and remarried, pulling the children one by one. After leaving the house again, I can finally live in my own house without any ties. There is no alcoholic husband, no troubled debts, and all the time and space thereafter belong to me.
Isn't this the ultimate meaning pursued by a respectable independent woman?
But the son said to the girl: "Look at my mother, I finally went to the school I wanted to go to, I had the job I wanted to do, my life was better, I had a house and a car, wouldn't I still be as fucking confused as me?"
Resonance Here, those of us who are pursuing independence and self-reliance, when facing marriage and life, we have been working hard and taking it seriously, but there will always be one or another confusion, and even more than one time we want to break free from everything that is restrained by our family and renew Recover a person's freedom without ties.
What if you want to return to the starting point of being alone? So what is the meaning of love, marriage, and childbearing to us?
The boy in the film asked his unreliable father: "What's the meaning of this?" The
father was puzzled: "What's the meaning of what?" The
boy said, "All this, what is the meaning of all this?"
And the director seemed to approve. The father’s mouth gave the answer:
"The meaning of life? Is it important? What is important is your perception."
Perhaps marriage and children have never been the end of a woman's pursuit, one person or simply two people. It seems to be much more relaxed and comfortable than it is, but if you encounter adversity, do you have enough energy to endure and be calm and comfortable? Practice in the intimate relationship between husband and wife and children is indeed the most difficult way, but what you experience and learn here is definitely not something you can experience alone.
I remember President Obama said, Being a goodparent isn't easy. It demands your constant attention, frequent sacrifice, and a healthy dose of patience. And nobody's perfect. To this day, I'm still figuring out how to be a better husband to my wife and father to my kids. (Being a good parent is not easy. It requires constant attention, constant sacrifice, and healthy patience. However, no one is perfect. Until today, I Still looking for ways to be a better husband and father)
This is his Fatherhood, which is also full of challenges. Only through experience can we know, and good times can be witnessed.
At the end of the film, under the setting sun of the Grand Canyon, the newly acquainted little friend said to the teenager who had grown up and admitted: "The moment seizes us". This sensitive young man who likes to communicate with the world through the camera and understands to watch life opened a new His life journey, and he often yelled when he was fragile, the crying mother may have stopped her tears and had a different life in her brand-new apartment...
